Concentration Cells
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A concentration cell generates a potential from a concentration difference; the same half-reaction at both electrodes makes E°cell zero, so Ecell comes entirely from Q.
Show
Two silver electrodes in silver nitrate solutions of different concentrations generate a small potential.
Watch for
Looking up the electrode's tabulated reduction potential and reporting it as the cell potential ignores that Ecell comes entirely from Q.
